Buy For The Future

Film · Speculative design

This project is a commentary on consumerism in the 20th century. Inspired by the work of the design firm Ant Farm and their 1975 project "Media Burn," the project combines both physical modeling and filming with digitally rendered assets and scenes into a cohesive vision.

ANT FARM - MEDIA BURN

This project began with an analysis of Ant Farm's 1975 Media Burn.

"[The firm] organized Media Burn, in which two “artist dummies” dressed as astronauts “drove” a customized 1959 Cadillac renamed the Phantom Dream Car at full speed into a wall of flaming television sets. Using the car once again as a cultural icon, Ant Farm addressed the pervasive presence of television in everyday life, affronting the same media they had invited to cover the event."
